A work in progress. This was a red Model 2 from 1987. First pic is the silver over blue pattern. Next pics are after the candies have been applied. No lacquer yet, waiting for decent weather. Hard to photograph, looks amazing in the flesh, the lacquer will make this come alive. Thanks again to Vera (24seven) for her hard work.

I think the lacquer is 2pack and it's sprayed using an air compressor and gravity gun. Vera hasn't tried using cans, but I'd guess they're really difficult to achieve any sort of even finish (drips, runs etc).

I am using 2k industrial laquer, clearcoat....with the whole kit gravity fed gun and compressor, Sean is the one that spends the time buffing the finish up!!!
I have never used spray cans on the guitars i have done, suppose cause it comes out uneven...but having said that it is possible to use cans but the process would take longer as you will have to spend the time flatting back etc...

I was born to do art and i must say when Sean approached me years ago and said he always loved the eerie dess finish could i have a go at doing it (never done a guitar in my life until i met him)...sure I love a challenge....I must say you have to see the guitar in the flesh to see the paint work...
these i have done cannot be replicated to be exact, just not possible...and i must admit i enjoy doing them.
I also enjoy reading all your comments, keep 'em coming...cheers folks....
did i tell you all i had a baby girl? that's why i have not been on site....hard to get anything done these days, ha ha....
